I used a really old pre-built SSH client. Works just fine. It seems that
when I tried to set up a new box and used a newer client, it failed
miserably.

I seem to recall that I generated a keypair on another box and transferred
them onto the Windows box (in a .ssh subdir). Note that you probably have to
create that dir using the cmdline; I don't think Windows Explorer lets you
create ".ssh". Anyways...

Then I put the pubkey into authorized_keys on the server, and it worked
great.

I suspect that you might be able to use the putty tunneling stuff, too, but
I've never tried that.

Cheers,
